The optional second argument specifies -the host name or address of a name server. -.LP -The options listed under the ``set'' command below can be specified in -the .nslookuprc file in the user's home directory if they are listed -one per line. Options can also be specified -on the command line if they precede the arguments and are prefixed with -a hyphen. For example, to change the default query type to host information, -and the initial timeout to 10 seconds, type: -.sp .5v - nslookup \-query=hinfo \-timeout=10 -.sp .5v -.SH "INTERACTIVE COMMANDS" -Commands may be interrupted at any time by typing a control-C. -To exit, type a control-D (EOF) or type exit. -The command line length must be less than 256 characters. -To treat a built-in command as a host name, -precede it with an escape character (\e). -\fBN.B.\fP an unrecognized command will be interpreted as a host name. -.sp .5v -.IP "\fIhost\fP [\fIserver\fP]" -Look up information for \fIhost\fP using the current default server -or using \fIserver\fP if specified. -If \fIhost\fP is an Internet address and the query type is A or PTR, the -name of the host is returned. -If \fIhost\fP is a name and does not have a trailing period, the default -domain name is appended to the name. (This behavior depends on the state of the -\fBset\fP options \fBdomain\fP, \fBsrchlist\fP, -\fBdefname\fP, and \fBsearch\fP). -To look up a host not in the current domain, append a period to -the name. -.sp 1 -.IP "\fBserver\fP \fIdomain\fP" -.ns -.IP "\fBlserver\fP \fIdomain\fP" -Change the default server to \fIdomain\fP. -\fBLserver\fP uses the initial server to look up -information about \fIdomain\fP while \fBserver\fP -uses the current default server. -If an authoritative answer can't be found, the names of servers -that might have the answer are returned. -.sp 1 -.IP \fBroot\fP -Changes the default server to the server for the root of the domain name space. -Currently, the host ns.internic.net is used. -(This command is a synonym for \fBlserver ns.internic.net.\fP) -The name of the root server can be changed with the \fBset root\fP command. -.sp 1 -.IP "\fBfinger\fP [\fIname\fP] [\fB>\fP \fIfilename\fP]" -.ns -.IP "\fBfinger\fP [\fIname\fP] [\fB>>\fP \fIfilename\fP]" -Connects with the finger server on the current host. -The current host is defined when a previous lookup for a host -was successful and returned address information (see the -\fBset querytype=A\fP command). -\fIName\fP is optional. -\fB>\fP and \fB>>\fP can be used to redirect output in the -usual manner. -.sp 1 -.IP "\fBls\fR [\fIoption\fR] \fIdomain\fR [\fB>\fR \fIfilename\fR]" -.ns -.IP "\fBls\fR [\fIoption\fR] \fIdomain\fR [\fB>>\fR \fIfilename\fR]" -List the information available for \fIdomain\fP, optionally creating -or appending to \fIfilename\fP. -The default output contains host names and their Internet addresses. -.I Option -can be one of the following: -.RS -.IP "\fB\-t \fIquerytype\fP" 4 -lists all records of the specified type (see \fIquerytype\fP below). -.IP \fB\-a\fP 4 -lists aliases of hosts in the domain. -synonym for \fB\-t\ \ CNAME\fP. -.IP \fB\-d\fP 4 -lists all records for the domain. -synonym for \fB\-t\ \ ANY\fP. -.IP \fB\-h\fP 4 -lists CPU and operating system information for the domain. -synonym for \fB\-t\ \ HINFO\fP. -.IP \fB\-s\fP 4 -lists well-known services of hosts in the domain. -synonym for \fB\-t\ \ WKS\fP. -.P -When output is directed to a file, hash marks are printed for every -50 records received from the server. -.RE -.sp 1 -.IP "\fBview\fP \fIfilename\fP" -Sorts and lists the output of previous \fBls\fP command(s) with -\fImore\fP(@CMD_EXT@). -.sp 1 -.ne 4 -.IP "\fBhelp\fP" -.ns -.IP "\fB?\fP" -Prints a brief summary of commands. -.sp 1 -.IP "\fBexit\fP" -Exits the program. -.sp 1 -.IP "\fBset\fP \fIkeyword\fP[=\fIvalue\fP]" -This command is used to change state information that affects the lookups. -Valid keywords are: -.RS -.IP "\fBall\fP" -Prints the current values of the frequently-used options to \fBset\fP. -Information about the current default server and host is also printed. -.IP "\fBclass=\fIvalue\fR" -Change the query class to one of: -.RS -.IP IN 10 -the Internet class. -.IP CHAOS 10 -the Chaos class. -.IP HESIOD 10 -the MIT Athena Hesiod class. -.IP ANY 10 -wildcard (any of the above). -.P -The class specifies the protocol group of the information. -.br -(Default = IN, abbreviation = cl) -.RE -.IP "\fB[no]debug\fP" -Turn debugging mode on.
